INSPIRED BY THE FAMOUS VIDEO TAPE OF THE TACOMA NARROWS BRIDGE
DISASTER IN WASHINGTON, USA IN 1940, I DECIDED TO STUDY THE
EFFECTS OF WIND ON BRIDGE DECKS. I STUDIED HOW THE SHAPE OF
BRIDGE DECKS WERE REACTING TO A STREAM OF AIR. MY RESEARCH IN
FLUID MECHANICS LED ME TO FOCUS MY ATTENTION ON VON KARMAN
INDUCED VORTEX IN THE BRIDGE’S WAKE. I MADE A FULLY FUNCTIONAL
MODEL REPRODUCING THE PHENOMENON OF THE BRIDGE’S DECK
OSCILLATION INDUCED BY VON KARMAN VORTEX. AFTER ANALYZING THE
EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS USING NUMPY GRAPHS, I CONCLUDED THAT VON
KARMAN VORTICES WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TACOMA BRIDGE
FALL, WHICH IS A COMMON MISCONCEPTION IN THE SCIENTIFIC WORLD

CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR
LIFSE PROJECT
PUTTING MY INTEREST IN THE LATEST SCIENTIFIC ADVANCES, I GOT
INTO HYDROGEN GAS AS A SOLUTION TO REPLACE FOSSIL FUELS. THAT
IS WHY I CONDUCTED A PROJECT ON HYDROGEN TANKS. DURING THIS
ACTIVITY, I DIMENSIONED, DESIGNED (USING CATIA V5), 3D PRINTED
AND TESTED IN LABORATORY A FULLY FUNCTIONAL PROTOTYPE OF A
CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR DEDICATED TO FILLING A HYDROGEN TANK IN
COLLABORATION WITH THE WELL-KNOWN LABORATOIRE D’INGÉNIERIE DES
FLUIDES ET DES SYSTÈMES ÉNERGÉTIQUES (LIFSE). I BELIEVE THAT
HYDROGEN HAS A BRIGHT FUTURE A FUEL SUBSTITUTE.
CATIA V5 3D PRINTING
MOTOR GEARBOX DESIGN,
PRODUCT DESIGN PROJECT
LAST YEAR, DURING MY TIME AT
ENGINEERING SCHOOL, I HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO DESIGN A
CUTTING-EDGE MOTOR GEARBOX.
THIS PROJECT CHALLENGED MY
ENGINEERING SKILLS AND
CREATIVITY, ALLOWING ME TO
GAIN INVALUABLE HANDS-ON
EXPERIENCE IN THE FIELD. THE
GEARBOX'S SUCCESSFUL
COMPLETION NOT ONLY SHOWCASED
MYDEDICATION BUT ALSO AFFIRMED
MY PASSION FOR MECHANICAL
ENGINEERING. I LOOK FORWARD TO
APPLYING THIS KNOWLEDGE TO
FUTURE PROJECTS AND
INNOVATIONS.
DASSAULT SYSTEM 3D EXPERIENCE
“REROCK” - START-UP PROJECT,
IN COLLABORATION WITH THE ENTREPRENEURIAL
PROGRAM OF ENSAM
AT THE FOREFRONT OF SUSTAINABLE FASHION, “REROCK”, INITIATED
BY ME AND MY ASSOCIATE, REVOLUTIONIZES UPCYCLING. OUR APP NOT
ONLY CONNECTS CLIENTS WITH LOCAL CREATORS BUT ALSO BOASTS AN
AI THAT GENERATES DESIGN IDEAS BASED ON USER PREFERENCES AND
PHOTOS OF THEIR UNWANTED GARMENTS. THIS INNOVATION STREAMLINES
THE CREATIVE PROCESS, REDUCES COSTS, AND AMPLIFIES OUR
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT.
MECHANICAL DESIGN PROJECT
AIRCRAFT BRAKES
I DESIGNED AND MODELED AN
AIRCRAFT BRAKE SYSTEM USING
CATIA DURING MY MECHANICAL
ENGINEERING PROJECT AT ARTS ET
MÉTIERS. THIS PROJECT INVOLVED
COMPREHENSIVE
CONCEPTUALIZATION, DETAILING,
AND SIMULATION TO CREATE AN
EFFICIENT AND RELIABLE BRAKING
MECHANISM FOR AIRCRAFT
APPLICATIONS. THE USE OF CATIA
ALLOWED FOR PRECISE 3D
MODELING AND SIMULATION,
SHOWCASING MY PROFICIENCY IN
BOTH DESIGN AND ENGINEERING

MECHANICAL DESIGN PROJECT
PUMP BODY
THIS PROJECT HAS TAUGHT ME THE
BASIC SKILLS NEEDED TO
MANUFACTURE A PART USING
METROLOGY, AND I'VE BEEN ABLE
TO GET TO GRIPS WITH THE
ISSUES INVOLVED IN
INDUSTRIALIZING A PART. IN THE
FUTURE, I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO
APPLY THESE SKILLS TO PERSONAL
OR PROFESSIONAL PROJECTS.
